The world must recognise that the hopes stirred by the 1990’s peace process have been completely dashed. In effect, Hamas has returned the conflict 
to the 1960’s and 1970’s, when progress toward peace had to await the PLO’s readiness to stop using terrorism and accept Israel’s existence. Israel’s survival and full right to total self-defense has to be now supported internationally, and the slander and demonisation of recent years should also end.
The strategic implications for the region are equally grim. Hamas’s takeover of Gaza is a victory for the bloc is comprising Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah, as well as the separate branches of the Muslim Brotherhood (of which Hamas is one) seeking to capture power in their own countries. These forces fully comprehend that the most important global contest today is between radical Islamism and the rest of the world. The question is when the rest of the world will figure that out.
